  • Notes 
    • SAVAGE, WILLIAM FIRTH was a graduate of Victoria University in 1866. On January 5, 1867 his card was in the Elora Observer, but in that same year a directory lists his address as Winterbourne. All evidence indicates that he remained in Elora, and there is nothing further to show that he practised in Waterloo County. In 1893 he moved to Guelph, and after practising for over 50 years, he died on August 2, 1923.
